Oprah Winfrey has come under fire for her apparent hypocrisy in building a wall around her home while criticizing supporters of President Trump's border.
Despite her liberal views, Winfrey's decision to construct a giant boulder wall along the San Ysidro Creek to protect her property from flood water has upset her neighbors, who are worried about the impact on their own homes during heavy storms.
TMZ reported that Oprah Winfrey is the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons after a new wall she constructed to save her home from flood water has her neighbors pissed.
Santa Barbara's Noozhawk reports there's been a boulder wall installed along the San Ysidro Creek to help prevent flooding and creek erosion on the billionaire's property.
However, folks in her Montecito neighborhood have reportedly raised concerns about the wall rerouting water onto their own properties during heavy storms.
Reports say a Carpinteria-based company called Jimenez Nursery used the media mogul's address when applying for a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall ... but it's still unclear if Oprah signed off on the whole thing at all.
Regardless, the new installation doesn't seem to be sitting right with a ton of folks in the swanky neighborhood ... apparently, there are also concerns about whether or not the wall could withstand the next rain storm.
While some have accused Winfrey of double standards, others have defended her right to protect her property. Regardless, the controversy has sparked a wider debate about the ethics of building walls and the political rhetoric surrounding them.
Sorry liberals, but walls work.
